Kashwakamak Lake Association | Jun 22, 2016

The Kashwakamak Lake Association (KLA), has been busy. Its lake sustainability sub-committee recently completed the draft Kashwakamak Lake Sustainability Plan and it will be voted on at the KLA’s upcoming Annual General Meeting on July 9 at the Harlowe Community Hall from 9:30 – 11:30 am. The bulk of the AGM will be a presentation, which will summarize the Sustainability Plan, discuss next steps and be followed with a vote. Non-members are welcome at this meeting and people interested in joining the KLA can do so at the door for only $15.

“I’m very proud of the work that our sub-committee has done,” stated Gordon Hunter, president. “We have an incredible group of talented people who have worked on this effort for fiveyears,” he added. “I’m excited to see the presentation and hear the comments and discussions around the plan’s recommendations.”

The committee began this effort in 2011 and the Kashwakamak Lake State of the Lake Report was presented at the July 2013 AGM as the first step in preparing a lake sustainability plan. They received public comments and did further research and have now completed the draft Sustainability Plan. In order to complete this third step they need their membership to read the plan, come to the AGM and vote.

For the first time there will also be a FREE barbeque immediately following the AGM sponsored by James Train, Cottage Docks, www.cottagedocks.com. People are asked to RSVP by June 30 so there’s enough burgers and hot dogs on the grill. RSVP to Gord Hunter, This email address is being protected from spambots.
